ABSTRACT

Chapter 2 of this volume by Anderson, Martin, and Van der Mensbrugghe provides only a brief description of the model that has been used to analyse the impact of several scenarios to liberalize trade in the context of the Doha Development Agenda (DDA). As pointed out, the model is recursively dynamic, with savings financing capital stock accumulation, and makes ample use of the Armington assumption under a CES technology so as to reflect product heterogeneity across countries. As this is not the occasion to give detailed comments on the model, only some brief remarks are made.
